00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.919
What is a modern brand?

00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:04.400
What is a modern brand?

00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:12.160
The brand that actually sticks in your mind the one time you look at it and it never leaves your mind.

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:18.640
What is going on, LM family?

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:19.839
Back at you again.

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:33.119
And this time I've got like a wizard of data-led marketing friend, colleague, just amazing human being that I came into contact with, and now I get to spend even more time with.

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:33.600
Mr.

00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:43.280
Mohit Bhagchandani is here and he's gonna school us on engineering performance for modern brands.

00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:50.479
And so if you're out there, you got your own business, you're thinking about a business, you're interested in marketing and brands, Mr.

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.880
Mohit, he's got the details, he's got the juice for us.

00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:59.840
He's the founder, owner, operator, magician behind Adeptomize.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.000
And they simplify decision making and execute with creative intelligence.

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.200
And I'm gonna tell you, I get to work with them, and I'm having an amazing experience so far.

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.040
And so I'm gonna brag on him a little bit and see if we can make him blush.

00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:35.359
But before that, if this is your first time here, you are listening to the Learn's and Missteps podcast, where you get to see amazing human beings just like you, how they are sharing their gifts and talents to leave this world better than they found it.

00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:40.640
I am Jesse, your selfish servant, and we are about to get to know Mr.

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:41.359
Mohit.

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:41.599
Mr.

00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:43.040
Mohit, how are you doing, sir?

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:44.400
I'm doing really good.

00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:46.560
Uh how are you doing?

00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.480
Oh man, I'm a little I was a little frazzled.

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.920
I messaged you before our scheduled time because I'm in St.

00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.319
Louis today and I was doing some trainings.

00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:57.840
Super, super awesome.

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.359
But we went a little over with some QA at the end.

00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.120
There was a lot of really interesting dialogue.

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:04.640
And I was like, oh my god, I'm gonna be late.

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.159
I hope only it doesn't fire me.

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:07.680
That's never gonna happen.

00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:08.879
How is St.

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:10.560
Louis, by the way, today?

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:11.759
Oh my goodness.

00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.319
The weather out here is amazing.

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:24.879
It's about 10, 15 degrees cooler here than it is in San Antonio, and today it's like bright, clear sky, like no cloudy.

00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.240
It's beautiful.

00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:26.719
Nice.

00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.800
Uh so it's been pretty awesome today.

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.120
And then I'm flying back home later on tonight.

00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.039
So I only got to stay here for a little bit.

00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.319
And so I got a super simple question for you, Mohit.

00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:36.800
You ready?

00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:41.840
What is a modern brand?

00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.400
What is a modern brand?

00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:51.919
The brand that actually sticks in your mind the one time you look at it, and it never leaves your mind.

00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:53.840
That is your modern brand.

00:02:54.159 --> 00:03:19.680
But the magic that behind that happens behind the brand, that is something you never notice because you only notice it one time, but they are putting so much effort so that you can keep noticing it again and again, no matter where you look, on what screen you look, and everywhere they will make sure that they get your attention.

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.280
That is your brand.

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.319
Oh, okay.

00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:33.759
So, you know, there that there's maybe it's just me and the stuff that I decide to consume on YouTube, and there's a lot of talk about personal brand.

00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:41.680
And I think I know before when I used to think about brand, I would think about like the name of the company or the name of the product.

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:52.240
And and so I'm wondering, do you have any guidelines for people that are in this space of professional development, entrepreneurship, branding?

00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.280
Do you have any guidelines for them to think about?

00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:03.520
Do should they think about it all as one thing, or is it are there different lanes for them to think about the brand idea?

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.919
See, it goes in a very different way for different people.

00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:13.919
I mean, the idea of a brand comes from like uh goodwill, basically.

00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.439
Back in the days, goodwill used to come from people's names.

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:57.920
If you think of Ford nowadays, it came from Henry Ford, and it was a family name, it was uh a goodwill that man created as a legacy for his future, and that how that is how you uh the personal brand and the company brand used to work back in the days, but in the modern time, people started creating a separate identity for the company and separate identity for the person, and I'm still in favor of it because at the end of the day, the company should have their own its own essence, its own presence in people's mind.

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:09.920
But my mentality is there is always one person who is pushing that company forward, and their personal brand matters a lot.

00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:17.680
Think of Tesla, and the first name that comes to you is obviously the big guy, the Elon Musk.

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:25.360
And fun fact, just like one second, I I lost my mind.

00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:26.720
Just give you one second.

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.079
I was gonna say one second.

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:41.439
Yeah, fun fact about him, he has five different brands, and still, whenever you listen to those brands, his name comes up first because he's the one who's pushing them.

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:56.639
So if you like tomorrow, if you decide to launch a new brand or a new business, if you already have your own name in the market, it makes things easier for you to actually launch a new field, be the leader in that field.

00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:06.560
Because at the end of the day, businesses can come and go, but your name has to survive, you know, as long as as long as you survive.

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:13.199
That right there, what you just said, is freaking powerful.

00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:18.000
Businesses come and go, but your name is what will survive.

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.360
And it's like the how should I say it?

00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:25.680
The bells and whistles that people attach to our name, right?

00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.879
What is it that people recognize about me or remember about me?

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:32.560
That's gonna stick.

00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:50.480
That is the and it goes that is the exact idea which people started implementing on the businesses because people can also come and go, but your company should have an individual identity and an individual brand, so that your legacy can also keep continuing after you go away.

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:56.240
So that's why keeping those two separate, but working on them together at the same time is very important.

00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.160
That's what I believe in.

00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:13.199
If you're working on just one thing and not focusing on the other thing, that that's something I am kind of skeptical about because uh your company can stand, but you can you will not be able to stand for a long time, or vice versa.

00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.199
So you should be prepared for both at the same time.

00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:24.399
Yeah, I get I have a lot of these conversations with folks, and it's because I learned it after the fact, right?

00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:30.639
After I decided to that I was gonna start a business, then I started getting active on social media.

00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:47.120
Now, the value that I've gotten out of being visible and helping people understand what they're gonna get from me and what I have to offer has been like profoundly valuable, exceeded what I ever could have estimated.

00:07:47.600 --> 00:08:04.319
Now, my takeaway is kind of like to the point that you made about the business and the person, I had about 20 years where I had like a real job and I was not visible, I had no brand, or when I left the company, my brand ended there.

00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:04.720
Yep.

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.319
And so I went to another company and I had to build another brand.

00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.879
I didn't think of it this way, but now I do.

00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:16.560
Now that I'm visible and active on social media, that brand follows me.

00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:18.319
I mean, I'll do in today's training.

00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.800
There was a couple like, hey man, you do the TikToks where you're walking and talking, like, yeah, man, I like it.

00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:26.480
That's their that's my brand from their perspective.

00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:41.919
And the takeaway for me is I could have been doing that back before I started my business with every company, and then that thing would have carried forward with or without the company I was working with.

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:43.120
What do you think about that?

00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:47.279
Is that something people should take into account even if they don't want to start a business?

00:08:47.519 --> 00:09:01.919
Uh, that's a very good topic, to be honest, because the more I think about it, the more I realize that people actually miss, and the frustrating part about it is no one actually understands this to the core.

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:03.600
I'll give you an example.

00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:13.679
My own father, he has run his whole life distribution channels for your home appliances and electronics.

00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:22.559
Now, in his market, everyone does not remember the brands that he's trying to sell, but his own name.

00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:28.320
Like, they will always remember his name, but not the brand he's selling.

00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:38.080
And I keep going to him, like, Dad, we should start our own brand, we should have our own supply chain and we should sell our own stuff.

00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:40.399
And he's no, I don't care.

00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:44.240
I'm just gonna do this, and I'm very happy about it.

00:09:44.480 --> 00:10:02.960
So, yeah, people don't understand it, but I know for a fact that the day he started his own brand, just because of his name, people will buy stuff from him, and that brand is going to stick even after he he is retired and done with businesses.

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:09.440
Yes, people understand how important the personal branding is.

00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:29.120
And for example, in your case, I'm pretty sure when you were working back in the day, where you spent 20 years of your life, people will still people who you worked with, they still remember you by your name of whatever you contributed towards their life or their businesses.

00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:35.759
That is not something you can take away from them, and that's something you need to keep towards yourself as well.

00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:44.159
Yeah, yes, I was not as intentional back then as I am now.

00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:51.120
And I think about it, the advice I would get is people are gonna remember you, your reputation.

00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:55.840
And so the easy way for me to make sense of it is like my reputation is my brand.

00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:01.120
I want to give a shout out to our LM family member, Mr.

00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.279
Crackpack from TikTok.

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.519
I don't know his name, but that's his handle.

00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:10.480
He says, You should definitely have more follows and views.

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:13.919
You have nothing but powerful knowledge to give.

00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.639
Make a book or start a podcast.

00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:21.519
Well, my brother, I got a podcast, and I do have a book, but I appreciate the support.

00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:37.600
And folks out there, you already know if you take the time to make a comment, leave me a message, do a review, or share the episode with your friends, it means a ton to me because sometimes I wonder is anybody except for me and Mohit listening to this conversation?

00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.120
And it gives me an opportunity to shout you out in the future.

00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:41.759
Yep.

00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:50.639
Right now it's a little different because it's a little more tailored or what's the word?

00:11:50.879 --> 00:12:01.759
Polish like design for a particular reason in terms of what I want people, like I want I'm intentional about what I want them to know about me.

00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:04.480
That doesn't mean I'm hiding things from them.

00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:08.559
It's just that I like, ooh, I need them to know that I do training.

00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:12.720
I need them to know that I have this online product.

00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:21.360
And so I've got to be intentional about informing people of what I can provide for them or how I can serve them.

00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:36.399
And I think it's just a little twist of what any individual can do, whether they want to start a business or not, is they can be intentional about letting people know where they stand, what they stand for, and what how they can serve?

00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:41.679
Now, obviously, you've got a ton of experience and insight about brand.

00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:47.600
Like, did you just know that when you were in middle school, 12 years old, mohit?

00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:49.679
Did you say, okay, I know what I'm gonna do?

00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:52.879
I'm gonna do branding and media.

00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:55.039
Was that an automatic?

00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.200
Did the family say this is what you need to do?

00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:58.240
How did that happen?

00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.919
I come from a really strong, hard entrepreneurial background.

00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:12.799
My father was an entrepreneur, his father was an entrepreneur, and we are big minorities on this planet.

00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:14.399
We are Sindhis.

00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:16.639
I don't know if you have heard of Sindhis.

00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:31.759
We are like Kurdish people, if you have heard of Kurdish people or Punjabis, we are a very huge minorities, and we are really famous for our entrepreneurial background and our really strong business.

00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:40.159
So it was kind of in my genes, it was kind of in my blood to understand how the business works.

00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:49.679
I mean, I used to see my father ever since I was a child working his ass off, like really hard.

00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:59.600
All the families working every time when the season is at its peak, they used there used to be a war happening at my place.

00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:08.240
Yeah, the stuff needs to go out, we need to finish the sales pipeline, and we need to make the max amount of sales.

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:22.080
That used to be like my childhood, and yeah, I want I wanted to pursue science, I wanted to pursue physics, I wanted to be a pilot or maybe an engineer or an architect, something like that.

00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.480
Because again, I'm an Indian person, we are famous for that.

00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:39.200
But yeah, yeah, yeah, the more I started focusing on the things that I was good at, the more I realized that I was actually born for doing marketing.

00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.360
And then I started pursuing my degree.

00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:48.720
I did my degree in journalism, media, and business strategy.

00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.960
Again, those things are specific to what I do today.

00:14:53.360 --> 00:15:02.399
I started when I started doing jobs, I was working with agencies that were mostly doing marketing for North American companies.

00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:11.600
And I had the best opportunity to work with one of the best white label organizations of Florida.

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:29.759
The environment was so unique, the journey was amazing because, see, especially when you're growing in this field and you get to work with a lot of accounts at the same time, is when you start making mistakes and learning from them.

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:40.639
Because that's when you get a lot of opportunities to actually understand how marketing is working, you know, what actually works and what actually does not work.

00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:56.639
So coming from that background, it makes things easier for me to make make judgments and decisions because I learned from my mistakes, but more importantly, I learned from my parents, my father's, and my grandfather's mistakes, and I try not to repeat them.

00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:00.159
That's amazing.

00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:11.200
So you were already a kid, and you understood, okay, we got to make this many sales, so we got to have product, we got to get the message out there, we got to get leads, we got to get them to convert.

00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.759
That was just a normal just the way the family operated.

00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.039
So you had direct insight, and I'm sure they gave you work to do.

00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:26.399
I know supply chain and logistics better than anyone who has a degree in supply chain and logistics.

00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:31.120
You live through, you had to manage it.

00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:31.759
Okay.

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:37.360
Now, so you said business strategy and journalism.

00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:38.240
Journalism, master.

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.720
I kind of I can kind of say so.

00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:42.879
Journalism, how was that?

00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:54.639
What were some of the big rocks, the big lessons from the journalism stuff that you kind of use on the regular now in the marketing business that you're running?

00:16:54.879 --> 00:17:04.319
So back in the day when I was doing my degree, we used to get a lot of training while we used to be going on sets of radio stations.

00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:10.480
We spent a lot of time learning the magazines and the newspapers back in the day.

00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:13.839
Because again, this was back into 2012.

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:15.519
No, 2011, I guess.

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:30.079
Yeah, 2011, when I was learning all this, and back in the day, we there was digital media, there was obviously websites, but that uh live media was the main thing that was happening.

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:31.920
There was no social media.

00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.759
I mean, there was, but it was not that uh important.

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:40.720
They people used to use Facebook just to meet people and make friends.

00:17:41.359 --> 00:18:10.240
So when I started indulging myself in all those things, like for example, I used to go to the radio stations and I used to see how people are promoting things, how the ads work, how you can you need to follow a specific form in a way you can promote something without looking like you're trying to you're trying to oversell stuff.

00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:35.519
So today, if I'm sitting with someone, if I have to do their pre and post production for podcasts, if I have to manage all that kind of experience comes in because it it's kind of similar, and the model is similar, the strategy is similar, and you need to understand how to actually like how the whole pace works.

00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:41.440
The podcast always goes up, there's a peak, and then it goes uh comes down at the end.

00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:55.920
So it's the peak is when you like you can focus the most, and most people don't even know about it when they end up doing their podcasts and yeah, their webinars or their live streams.

00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:56.640
Uh-oh, yeah.

00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:57.759
Yeah.

00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:04.079
Okay, so I can see that being involved in live media back then, which would have been TV and radio.

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:04.640
Yep.

00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.960
Now, like social media, and I don't know.

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:10.720
So maybe this is the question.

00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:16.079
I feel like from my perspective, social media is the only way.

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.480
And now, particularly for my business, right?

00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:28.240
That I have consulting coaching business, I don't I would never consider like TV or a radio ad.

00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:48.880
Now, because social media is accessible to everybody, do you think what kind of impact do you think that has on people in terms of are they like, is it over, are too many people trying to leverage it for their marketing and advertisement?

00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:49.920
What do you think about that?

00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:58.720
See, if you want my really honest opinion, and just so you know, I study it on a regular basis.

00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:07.519
The newer generation, let's say the Gen Z and the Millennials, they have dropped their time spending on the feed.

00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:16.079
They spend more time on their stories, they spend more times time in their inboxes rather than spending time on their feeds.

00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:26.960
Because that's the case with almost every kind, every kind of media, be it TV, be it radio, be it newspapers.

00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:37.279
After a point of time, if you're pushing too many ads and if you're trying to promote too much stuff on the on any of these platforms, it will dial down.

00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:43.359
The the person's inclusion in like participating in your ads will go down.

00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:51.119
Because people will understand that this is what is happening to them, and they will try to move away from it.

00:20:51.359 --> 00:21:01.920
So now the real way to approach people, the real way to promote yourself, in my opinion, is less on the feeds, more on their messages, more on their stories.

00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.000
Ah, got it.

00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:10.880
And so is that going out and directly connecting with the individuals or running ads to stories?

00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:12.559
See, you have to.

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:21.519
This is something I tell to all of my clients, and this is something I have mentioned to you as well multiple times, that it is a combined approach.

00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:29.200
You have to understand, you have to be organic and you have to think of performance marketing at the same time.

00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:49.680
You have to apply those both of them together at the same time because there are different levels, if there is a whole funnel, you have to understand on what level you need to be organic and what level you have to be applying performance marketing, or maybe applying both at the same time because you never know what works in what occasion.

00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:53.680
That's that's the kind of mix that you need to look forward to.

00:21:54.079 --> 00:22:03.119
The organic will work, but it will work better with paid media, and the paid media it by itself will never work properly.

00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:05.119
You have to be organic.

00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:08.240
I was just gonna ask you.

00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:13.119
So, what if I just wanted to run ads, but you're like, that's not gonna work.

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:15.599
See, I'll be very honest with you.

00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:17.119
It will not work.

00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:24.240
Every business, every brand needs a person, it needs a face and it needs people to push it forward.

00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:35.599
If you are thinking that you're sitting at your office and you're thinking that, yeah, maybe I should have a paid media campaign running, and that's how I will get leads.

00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:39.599
Sure, you will get leads for some of the time.

00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:49.119
But once the lead, the price, the cost per lead will start increasing is when you you will realize that, yeah, you need to put more efforts into it.

00:22:49.440 --> 00:23:02.960
Because on your paid campaigns, there are the you'll be getting reviews, you'll be getting comments, you'll be getting engagement, you have to engage with those comments, you have to respond to the people who bought services from you.

00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:08.480
If you're if you're not getting the positive reviews, then it's not even worth it.

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:12.400
Your business will go down.

00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:14.319
I agree, I agree.

00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:24.160
Yeah, so I know so you serve North America, obviously, because you and I are working together and you're schooling me on all kinds of really good stuff.

00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:30.799
Now, do you find how frequent do you find one of your customers?

00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:35.599
Do they struggle more with organic content or ads?

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:50.640
Which is the thing that generally speaking, that they have the biggest trepidation or conflict around is it putting like ads content for ads, or is it the organic content that they struggle with?

00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:57.920
I would say the content in general is the biggest struggle, in my opinion.

00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:14.160
Because, see, I can run okay, I can create content for ads, and like I can use stock images, I can start use stock videos, and I can be creative about it, and most of the time I don't even need anything else from the client.

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:19.920
But that is not what is going to stand make you stand apart from your competitor.

00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:25.440
No, your organic content is what's going to make you stand out.

00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:35.839
So five years back, people used to go to your influencers and get the content done from them, which was an easy shortcut.

00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:50.319
But nowadays, I personally believe that employee-generated content, your customer-generated content, your personal content, all that content matters for your organic and for your paid media.

00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:53.839
You don't believe me, you try it yourself.

00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:57.440
You will use your stock images and your stock videos.

00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:00.880
I am pretty sure how much traction that's gonna generate.

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:09.680
I have run like at a particular time I used to run 500 campaigns, ad campaigns in my white label agency.

00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:11.759
So I know how this works.

00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:19.200
I can make a lot of I can make AI generated content, and people will know that it is AI generated content.

00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:23.920
You still need people to make the company feel more human.

00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:26.799
And if you're not doing it, you're you're missing out.

00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:28.240
You're missing out.

00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:35.680
Yeah, no, I one, I appreciate your patience and flexibility with me because I just post whatever.

00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:37.920
In your case, I but I enjoy it, right?

00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:47.519
In your case, I'm very happy working with you because you understand how important making content is, even for organic, even for paid.

00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:52.559
But I have worked with I have worked with roofing agents, roofing companies.

00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:55.920
I will make the whole script for them.

00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:02.559
That this guy will say this, that guy will say that, and you have to just do the hook.

00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:09.599
They will read it, they will find it funny, they will appreciate it, but I will never get that video.

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:15.279
I will keep asking for it two or two months, three months down the line.

00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:16.400
Where's the video?

00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:18.079
Can you guys give me the video?

00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:19.039
Nothing.

00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:26.000
If you look at their websites, their websites are full with stock imagery.

00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.400
They'll be like, Mohit, this image does not look good to me.

00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:38.640
This does not look like an image from central part of America or the Florida part of America or the Texas part of America.

00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:43.519
And I'm like, if you don't like it, why are you making me use the stock imagery?

00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:47.759
Why can you not provide images from your jobs?

00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:55.279
You're going to your jobs, you're doing your roofing, you're like you're making really beautiful roofs out there.

00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:58.880
You just need to take a before shot and an after shot.

00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:00.880
That's all you need to do.

00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:03.359
They won't listen to me.

00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:12.319
So well, here, I'm gonna get some extra points from you because I was doing training today, yeah, and I said, you know what?

00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:17.200
I better take some pictures because if not, Mohit's gonna get after me.

00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:22.160
And so I took a bunch of action pictures so that we can update the website, right?

00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:30.000
Because I I like I want it to look like I don't care if it looks messy, yeah.

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.119
I just don't want it to look fake, yeah.

00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:37.200
And and you most people don't understand this.

00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:39.440
That is what marketing is.

00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:51.759
People think that marketing requires a lot of effort, it will not take a lot of time for you to it will take just two seconds for you to take out your phone and just make that picture, click that picture.

00:27:51.920 --> 00:28:01.519
That's all I need because around 100 websites are out there using the same stock image, using the same video.

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:06.319
You will see that video repeated on every website.

00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:19.839
On every like the format is getting repeated to the point where it gets boring, and like I have to beg the people to make them understand that yeah, your content matters.

00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:33.440
If you will not focus on the creating something, you will be behind, and your competitor will take away your work, they will have your next client just because you are not active.

00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:38.079
Oh yeah, so there you go, LM family.

00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:39.200
Take the picture.

00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:46.640
And here's the funny thing: this is super hypocritical of me because I hate taking pictures, like I don't mind people taking pictures of me.

00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:58.799
What I don't like is stopping to take a picture, but I just think of like now that we're building the website and working with you, where you know, ads and all the other things.

00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:06.160
I'm like, oh my god, I have decades worth of amazing pictures that I could have taken that I didn't.

00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:11.920
And so, LM family member out there, take the pictures, save them because you might need them in the future.

00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:15.599
And to your point, like you don't want to look like everybody else.

00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.000
But if you don't have the picture, it doesn't take that long.

00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:28.160
Take a dang picture of your work, of the group, of yourself in that environment, and you can use them in the future to separate yourself from the competition.

00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:30.319
And you made a really good point.

00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:39.440
Like, if you have taken a picture back in the day, like 40 years back, 30, 40 years, 50 years back, that picture is also relevant.

00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:52.079
That is still content that also can be used for your website, your own personal posts on LinkedIn or any other social media platform you're on you're very active on.

00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:54.480
You just don't realize it yet.

00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:59.680
You just need to open your old stash of pictures and try to find that diamond.

00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.200
Between those stack of pictures.

00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:05.519
Back in the day, we used to have the albums.

00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:07.359
We used to go through for the pictures.

00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:08.319
Oh, yeah.

00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:10.000
Open them up.

00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:11.119
Open them up.

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:15.519
Digita, digitize them, and just use them for your socials.

00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.000
Oh man, that's a good idea.

00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:20.720
So any photo albums, you can go through there.

00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:23.200
I give you a good idea right now.

00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:25.440
Yes.

00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:26.720
Huh.

00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:33.279
Well, the only problem, oh hit, is I would have to call one of my ex-wives for the photo album.

00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:36.000
I don't know if I want to do that.

00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:37.440
I mean it's what that is.

00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:38.160
All right.

00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:39.440
Yeah.

00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:40.960
I don't know, man.

00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:44.319
You don't know why they're different over here in Texas.

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:44.640
Yeah.

00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.720
That I would especially if you're running ads, but even organic, right?

00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.480
There's engagement and all the things, which is super data.

00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:58.240
Uh, but there's got to be a creative element to it because it has a direct impact.

00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:02.000
There's a direct relationship between the data and the creativity.

00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:03.599
And so, how do you blend that?

00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:07.680
Because I feel like you do it extremely well.

00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:12.160
It's not lopsided one way or the other, unless it needs to be.

00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:13.759
How do you think about that?

00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:21.440
So, Jesse, again, this all comes from the experience of coming from a very business-oriented family.

00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:30.880
Back in the day when we people used to run their businesses, they used to focus more on the goodwill because they used to have repeated customers.

00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:34.880
And they used to know who their repeated customers were.

00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:40.319
And back in the day, they used to just remember the face or remember the name, make the contact list.

00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:47.440
Data and marketing kind of works exactly in the similar way, even today, in today's date.

00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:53.119
Nowadays, we are saving up all the data of whatever customers that we get.

00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:59.680
And we try to reach out to their circle of people or the people who are actually kind of similar to them.

00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:06.480
It's exactly what you used to happen back in the day, but on a really larger scale.

00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:25.039
When you start collecting this data of whoever is interested in your services, who has participated in your services, the least you can do is at least retarget those people who are already interested in your services, who have already bought from your services.

00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:29.359
Most people don't even do this very simple step.

00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:32.880
Like it's the basic thing you can do.

00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:35.680
Because you have created your goodwill.

00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:37.279
People already like you.

00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.400
You just need to reach out to them again if they need anything else.

00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:41.920
Oh, you need this?

00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:44.000
Why not buy it from us?

00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:46.319
Why are you buying it from someone else?

00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:48.319
It's kind of like that.

00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:56.000
And the other part of data comes in where you need to find the patterns.

00:32:56.559 --> 00:33:07.039
If you can see that there are people who are already interested in your services, the people around them will also end up being interested in your services in their circles.

00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:18.880
Getting that data out, reaching out to them, that would create your new audience, and that would be a comparatively warmer audience to convert to.

00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:37.920
Because, see, reaching out to someone who's really blind about what they actually want and what they don't want, compared to reaching out to someone who you are kind of short that they are also falling into the similar background, similar area of the people you have already sold to.

00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:42.640
It makes things easier for you to convince the other group of people.

00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:53.119
So you're retargeting, creating your new audience so that you can gain more sales from new audience.

00:33:53.440 --> 00:34:03.680
And thirdly, when you're speaking out, you're being out there, you're on your social media, you're just trying to inspire people.

00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:17.039
In your case, those people follow you, and they are also the ones that you are not focusing on and not retargeting towards if you have not sold to them.

00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:24.880
So that's something you need to keep in mind all the time because you never know who ends up getting converted.

00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:33.199
It can be the owner, it can be the sec the secretary of the owner, it can be the lowest employee in the organization.

00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:42.159
But if they got inspired and they recommended you to the higher, higher level of people, it makes things easier for you, you know.

00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:43.280
Yes, yes.

00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:52.880
The way I think about social media, like all my outlets or my all my accounts, is I want to accomplish two things with them.

00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:57.519
One is community, build a community, right?

00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:03.920
Get attract people that are like-minded and interact and just whatever that needs to be like.

00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:05.920
Do I want people to buy stuff?

00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:06.639
Sure.

00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:11.840
That's what happens if I'm showing up appropriately, right?

00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:29.039
Now, the other thing that may be a sublevel to the commute, like building a community is I want to make sure people know that I'm the kind of flavor that they want, or I'm not their flavor at all.

00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:46.559
Meaning, I say things a certain way, I talk about certain things from a certain perspective so that they can decide Jesse's a dummy, I don't want any more of his content, or I like what this dummy has to say, I want more of his content.

00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:48.639
That's how I think about it.

00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:53.199
So, which makes that I learned like that was just by default.

00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:54.639
That's just how I decided to do it.

00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:55.440
And it's working.

00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:57.440
Rather, I'm enjoying it.

00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:03.519
Whether it's working, that could be argued because we could talk about well, how many followers do you have, how much revenue are you bringing per follower?

00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:05.199
Doesn't matter.

00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:06.320
I'm having fun doing it.

00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:08.079
So that's why I say it's working.

00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:19.840
Now, if I were to come to a depth of my and say, well, hey, I don't have any social media accounts, I'm starting a business in a month, and I know I need marketing.

00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:22.880
What would you like?

00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:28.159
What are some pointers that you would give me or somebody that came to that situation?

00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:36.239
Like they have not been active on social media, they got a brand new product or service that they want to introduce to the market.

00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:37.519
Where do they start?

00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:50.719
And I'm asking because I've had a lot of conversation with a lot of people over the years, and they spend an enormous amount of time thinking about the service or the product, and no time anywhere else.

00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:55.360
And I was kind of in the same boat, I just think I just got lucky in the way things have worked out.

00:36:55.599 --> 00:37:00.079
So, what do you suggest if for somebody in that situation?

00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:05.280
See, it specifically depends on the business, if I'm being very honest.

00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:12.320
Some businesses can thrive only on social media and they don't even need a website if they want.

00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:12.960
Okay.

00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:19.760
Whereas, like most people will tell you on their like, yeah, website is important and all that.

00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:27.039
That is kind of what used to happen, but in the newer direction where things are going, it's kind of a mixed approach.

00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:52.239
I'm not saying websites are not important, websites are still important if you're doing your regular businesses, like if you want to run your lifestyle brands, or if you want to like on your like you want to have your HVAC services or your plumbing services, or your electricians, your roofers, your construction people, they still need the website to get the leads.

00:37:52.559 --> 00:38:04.079
But most of the other brands, like for example, yourself, your business can mostly thrive on the social media itself, and the website is a very small part of it.

00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.840
The majority is occupied with the social media.

00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:10.480
It kind of depends on what business.

00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:20.559
So, hypothetically, if I have to take a construction business or a roofing business or an electrician business, plumbing, etch, let's talk about those services.

00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.920
I would say let's start with the basics.

00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:26.719
Start with your website and your listings.

00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:41.920
Start with your business listings so that everyone locally knows that your name will come up, your BBB, your Google business profile, all those things, your yellow pages, all those things matter.

00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:50.559
I they are still relevant because boomers are the ones who are making those, buying those services, and they are still active on those platforms.

00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:56.639
They still want to just call the number and make it happen, basically.

00:38:56.880 --> 00:38:58.400
Most people don't understand that.

00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:07.119
Like the group of audiences that you're targeting, in that way, you're focused towards the fields of marketing changes.

00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:16.400
So if it's the boomers, the silent generation, you still have to focus on your business listings, your website, and everything.

00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:28.239
So, website and business listings, once they are done, once your business is properly active on BBB, your Google business profile, then you can focus on creating your social media pages.

00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:31.920
Start with your Facebook, Instagram, and then your LinkedIn.

00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:34.719
These are the most important ones.

00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:45.840
If you want to be really socially heavy, then you can add on to your TikTok and your YouTube, and you can start posting videos on it.

00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:53.840
The most important thing still in those businesses is the website because you need to have a really good lead form.

00:39:54.320 --> 00:40:00.559
There should be clear explanation of what your business does, what services you do.

00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:05.760
You don't have to just copy whatever the other competitor is writing.

00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:12.079
Try to use your own words, try to be original, try to post more organic content.

00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:20.559
And no, I'm not saying that just follow what everyone else says, find the keywords, write the content.

00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:21.119
No.

00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:27.039
Write the relevant content, write the content that will help the person.

00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:36.239
If someone wants their pipe fixed and they are trying to search, how should I fix my pipe or my wiring or my roof?

00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:44.880
There should be a really simplistic supportive blog that they can fall onto, which can be your blog, and you're helping them in that way.

00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:49.840
And in that way, they you end up you might end up gaining that customer as well.

00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:50.480
Yeah.

00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:54.480
So for those businesses, the approach is different.

00:40:54.800 --> 00:41:03.679
For let's say lifestyle businesses, your clothing, your watches, everything lifestyle.

00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:13.920
Your fancy houses, your fancy cars, your cabins, garages, shoes, yeah, social media.

00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:17.679
Without fail, social media is the priority in that case.

00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:25.039
You need to start creating content three, four months before you can even think of focusing on the customer.

00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:30.639
The content in that case and the brand in that case matters a lot.

00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:40.400
And then lastly, your personal services, as in your case, you are being a personal coach to the organizations.

00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:52.079
In your case, you are like heavy social media, like in lifestyle cases, there's still like a lot of involved involvement of the website.

00:41:52.320 --> 00:42:07.679
You still have to make the list of items that you need to sell, you need to create a whole itinerary, you have to create a website which is itinerary heavy, like your Shopify platforms or your big commerce platforms.

00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:18.320
But in your personal branding cases, like where you're trying to sell yourself as a service, then you are 90% social.

00:42:18.559 --> 00:42:20.320
That's the threshold of social.

00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:26.559
So, my friend, what you are doing already is the best way to do it in your field.

00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:29.440
I like it.

00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:30.480
Thank you.

00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:32.480
I got a five-star review.

00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:34.159
Thank you, Bobby.

00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:41.440
I originally, this was about almost a year ago, when I said, okay, I need to do something about marketing.

00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:44.800
So I'm gonna, I'm gonna learn it and then I'm gonna do it.

00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:48.960
And this is for the LM family member out there.

00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:52.559
So I decided to start learning about marketing.

00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:57.679
And what I discovered is it's such an enormous subject, right?

00:42:57.840 --> 00:42:59.679
Then I started, oh, wait a minute.

00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:08.159
So there's social media, there's direct marketing, there's lead generation, there's positioning, there's messaging.

00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:10.639
There is go-to marketing strategies.

00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:20.320
There are a lot of pseudo effects that you need to understand how the psychology works of human beings, the type of content you're sending out.

00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:27.440
It should be structured in a way that you can actually grab the attention of someone who's actually looking at your content.

00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:28.320
Yeah.

00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:28.960
Yes.

00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:31.920
Email sequence, like enormous.

00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:40.800
And all that to say that it was enough for me to say it's gonna take me too long to learn all of this, like to understand it in my head.

00:43:41.039 --> 00:43:42.880
And then I'm gonna have to do it.

00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:46.079
And I'm when I start doing it, I'm not gonna do it well.

00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:53.360
So that's gonna take another two or three or five years to get half decent at it before it has any impact on my business.

00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:56.400
That's why I said I need professional help.

00:43:56.639 --> 00:44:08.639
And so I'm sharing that to the LM family member out there who's like either operating a business or thinking about operating a business, super, super recommend.

00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:29.039
Get some help, get some coaching, get a get with mohit and adeptomize because I know like the value I'm getting out of it is I'll say this way I started tinkering around with ads on meta ads for Facebook and Instagram because I have to have my hands in things, but oh my God, there's so much work.

00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:42.000
And I'm not even talking about like creating the creative, like the video or the image, setting up the damn ad and all that it is, it's an enormous amount of work, and there's amazing professionals out there that can help you.

00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:45.840
Now, Mohit, we've been talking a lot about construction.

00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:52.400
Do you, in terms of clientele or the types of businesses you like to serve, what's the sweet spot for you?

00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:53.599
Is it construction?

00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:56.320
Is it crazy psychopaths like me?

00:44:56.480 --> 00:44:58.400
What where does that land for you?

00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:07.840
I have dealt with my fair share of industries, like huge list of industries, if I have to talk, uh, if I have to be very specific.

00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:29.280
I've worked from lifestyle brands to retail to tech, but yeah, uh my forte has been ending up most in in the construction field because see, I've worked with other agencies that were very specific about construction as well, and that's how I ended up working with a lot of roofing companies at it at the same time.

00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:46.639
But on the other side, I've worked on marketing for rehabilitations, outpatient programs, law firms, your electricians, HWACs, plumbings, paintings, landscaping, finance, mortgage.

00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:49.760
Yeah, mortgage and finance goes hand in hand.

00:45:50.320 --> 00:46:03.360
Your repair shops, your doctors, dentists, oncologists, therapists, your restaurants, your prefab homes, your it's a long list now that I think of it.

00:46:03.599 --> 00:46:04.000
A lot.

00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:05.119
I mean that's amazing.

00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:11.039
When I think of prefab homes, I'm thinking I've done sheds, garages, horse barns, cabins.

00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:15.840
Then if I think of more personal level services, I've done staffing agencies, yeah.

00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:17.679
Staffing agencies I have done.

00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:23.440
Yeah, because I still have one or two clients that are just staffing agencies.

00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:29.119
And when it comes to your home services, I'm I might be missing one or two here and there.

00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:39.280
Pest control services, your artificial glass grass, artificial grass installation, your wow, yeah.

00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:41.519
Demolition, demolition.

00:46:41.599 --> 00:46:42.079
I think so.

00:46:42.159 --> 00:46:45.519
We were talking about demolition uh uh just a few days ago, I guess.

00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:56.480
Yes, yes, title escrow companies, your wealth management, retirement homes, sober living homes, insurance firms, pet care firms, e-commerce.

00:46:56.639 --> 00:46:58.639
How can I forget e-commerce?

00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:01.440
Yeah, wow.

00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:16.079
So you like everything, but just going all the way back to you said it was in your DNA, you got to see the whole value stream of business and understand the connectivity or the connecting lines through all of those things.

00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:31.519
You talked about supply chain, you understand the functionality and the value of that, and then within the like the marketing end is not just about generating a contact or a lead, it's the whole life cycle, all the way to retargeting after they've bought.

00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:34.000
And you do that with any business.

00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:39.679
And so if somebody's oh my god, I need this, that's a lot of stuff that I don't want to learn.

00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:40.960
Where do we send them?

00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:44.559
If they're like, you know what, I'm interested, I'm curious, I think Mr.

00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:47.039
Mohit and Adeptomise can help me.

00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:49.440
Where do we send them to get that help, Mohit?

00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:52.880
Yeah, onto my LinkedIn and onto my website.

00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:58.480
I'll make sure we have those links in the chat.

00:47:58.639 --> 00:48:03.599
And folks, because at least connect with Mohit and follow him on LinkedIn because he puts out some of the things.

00:48:03.760 --> 00:48:18.960
The least you can do is connect on LinkedIn because I try to share most of my content for free of a lot of strategies that I apply on my regular basis, on day-to-day basis, on all my clients, even including Jesse.

00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:19.920
Yeah.

00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:23.119
Yes, yes, I love it.

00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:23.840
All right.

00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:27.679
Well, are you ready for the Grand Slam home run question, Mr.

00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:28.400
Mohiz?

00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:34.639
I might not be, but I would say just throw it in my direction.

00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:38.320
All right, it's coming at you.

00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:44.320
And I'm excited about the answer because really particularly stands out to me, Mohiz, two things.

00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:59.039
One is this thread of the service and the value you provide to other human beings now that really is your lifeline of how you lived and how you grew up, and it's just a part of who you are.

00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:05.199
And the second thing is you and I have worked together and communicating with you.

00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:18.480
I always am treated with or feel like I'm getting immense respect from you, not just in terms of your ability to deeply listen, but also to tell me, hey, goofball, like you need to think about this.

00:49:18.559 --> 00:49:28.079
You don't say it that way, but you're very clear and helping me in towards achieving the outcome that I'm seeking, even when I don't really want to do it.

00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:37.760
And so that takes a depth of just real, true, authentic humanness, which means I think your answer to the question is gonna be phenomenal.

00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:45.599
And so here is the question: what is the promise you are intended to be, Mohit?

00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:48.559
That is a great question.

00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:58.800
It sounds like you just want to know my core promise as a person and as an entrepreneur, what people can count me on for, basically.

00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:20.320
So, yeah, I guess I can say that I promised that I intend to be someone who keeps helping people who fail to understand how important marketing is, and in the most genuine possible way, in the most transparent possible way.

00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:29.760
I I want to provide the clarity that they don't understand, I want to provide the intelligence that they actually want on their side.

00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:32.960
I'm not here just to sell marketing services.

00:50:33.039 --> 00:50:39.679
I mean, you go on your Facebook groups, you go on LinkedIn, you'll find thousands of people.

00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:42.400
Thousands is a small word, I should say.

00:50:42.639 --> 00:50:46.719
Hundreds of thousands of people promoting their marketing services.

00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:48.960
And I don't want to be them.

00:50:49.760 --> 00:50:53.280
To me, selling marketing services not is not a priority.

00:50:53.360 --> 00:51:07.280
I I want to be a partner with you for your business that you can trust to simplify the noise and create strategies that actually move the needle.

00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:16.639
For me, the promise is consistency, whether it is with the clients or with my team, or even for myself.

00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:27.840
I want to be the person who shows up, keeps it simple, delivers the results without overcomplicating things, and that's what I stand for.

00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:31.920
I that's the standard I want to hold myself to, basically.

00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:32.880
Yeah.

00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:48.960
That's a man, and I'm just I'm a testament that you have, and you nailed it, like you have helped me filter through the noise because like I spend so much time learning about oh, I could do this, and what about this?

00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:54.320
I should do the all the things that I could do, and you're like, nope, let's do this.

00:51:54.559 --> 00:52:12.079
I'm like, okay, people from my field and coming from my background, just so you know, they have to stand for themselves a lot, and it's an integrity that we need to hold.

00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:18.960
Like, my work needs to hold a lot of integrity so that I can actually stand out.

00:52:19.039 --> 00:52:31.199
You know, people can hire anyone, their friends, their family, and coming from the background that I personally have, integrity is the best thing I can stand for.

00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:42.079
Because marketing is full of verse words and overpromises, and people can just oversell you for thousands of dollars, they can loot you technically.

00:52:42.320 --> 00:53:13.519
You should actually use the word loot you for thousands of dollars, and just because they know you and they are trying to they are pretending to be the experts in their industry, whereas I want myself and I want adaptimize to stand for results that are real and measurable and lasting, and I want adaptimize to be like the idea of integrity that is being delivered to the customer.

00:53:13.840 --> 00:53:18.559
And I do know at the end of the day, my my company's name, and I was thinking about it.

00:53:19.039 --> 00:53:21.920
There were two words that actually I combined.

00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:24.960
I don't know if I have mentioned it to you before or not.

00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:26.960
I remember, tell me.

00:53:27.199 --> 00:53:35.760
So the company name is adaptimize, it comes from two words adapt and optimize, and that's my mantra.

00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:37.199
Ah, that's right.

00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:43.280
Yes, so you're having to adapt to me and optimize me.

00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:50.400
Um the message is keep adapting and keep optimizing, do not stop.

00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:51.840
That's the message.

00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:53.360
Ah, I love it.

00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:55.199
Well, we're definitely gonna do that, Mr.

00:53:55.360 --> 00:53:55.920
Mohit.

00:53:56.079 --> 00:53:56.559
Did you have fun?

00:53:56.719 --> 00:53:57.760
Yeah, yeah, definitely.

00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:00.960
It was spot on, it was 10 on 10.

00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:02.559
I like it.

00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:05.599
Thank you for sticking it out all the way to the end.

00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:07.920
I know you got a whole lot of stuff going on.

00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:18.400
And in appreciation for the gift of time that you have given this episode, I want to offer you a free PDF of my book, Becoming the Promise You're Intended to Be.

00:54:18.639 --> 00:54:20.960
The link for that bad boy is down in the show notes.

00:54:21.119 --> 00:54:21.599
Hit it.

00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:23.599
You don't even have to give me your email address.

00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:27.519
If there's a link in there, you just click that button, you can download the PDF.

00:54:27.679 --> 00:54:43.840
And if you share it with somebody that you know who might feel stuck or be caught up in self-destructive behaviors, that would be the ultimate you sharing that increases the likelihood that it's going to help one more person.

00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:52.559
And if it does help one more person, then you're contributing to me becoming the promise I am intended to be.

00:54:53.199 --> 00:54:57.199
Be kind to yourself, be cool, and we'll talk at you next time.
